M62 - Your Local History

A lot of finds were uncovered during the archaeological evaluation carried out for the M62 Junction 6 Improvement scheme so we thought it would be nice to provide an interactive website so you can see what we found.

Environmental Topics

The ability to move around in private vehicles is an important personal freedom that enhances our quality of life. However that same freedom imposes costs on people and the environment.

As operator of the nation's motorways and trunk roads we have a responsibility to road users and the communities we influence. We work to minimise the negative impacts of our roads and enhance the quality of the surrounding environment where possible.

These pages look at the wide range of areas in which the Highways Agency is working to respect the environment and assist people.  This includes cultural heritage and archaeology, the landscape quality of our towns and countryside through to biodiversity and the quality of basic human resources such as air and water.

Our approach to Sustainability and Climate Change can be viewed on our Sustainable Development pages.
